So there's this guy in Kentucky. He's kind of a goofball, apparently, and
has been trying to run for govenor or something. His wife sends him to the
grocery store where he runs into a woman and her two nieces (11 and 13), and
makes a fairly standard country-folk joke: "those are some nice girls, I'd
trade you a fattening hog for them." This is so standard that even
I, the very definition of a suburbanite, am familiar with it.
But apparently the
woman didn't think it was funny
and got a warrant for his arrent for
soliciting minors! OK, yeah, that's a touchy subject these days (I
don't remember there being such a to-do about it even sio much as 5 or 10
years ago), but it was an innocent joke, meant as a compliment. I
just can't believe people sometimes.

Sadly, I can.
